Summary:
This study plans to learn more about contributors to high blood pressure in men who
undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to treat prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is
the most common non-skin cancer in men, affecting approximately 1 in 8 American men and
its primary treatment is through the use of ADT. However, ADT increases the likelihood of
developing heart disease including high blood pressure. This study will determine if
dysfunction of the nervous system and/or kidneys occurs in men undergoing ADT, as these
systems play a significant role in control of blood pressure. The results from this study
will help us understand the ways in which ADT contributes to heart disease and help us
develop therapies to prevent heart disease in prostate cancer survivors.
